With the return of nicer weather, rollerblading will once again become everyone’s favorite outdoor activity. It’s not difficult to see its appeal, but you should make sure to avoid these common mistakes to ensure your rollerblading adventures are both safe and fun.
Wrong Skates
Not all roller skates are created equal, and you should make the right pick between the quad and inline skates, depending on what you want to use them for. It’s also important to avoid buying skates that are too big for you, because they may lead to friction and blisters.
No Protection
Rollerblading without any protection may look fun in TikTok videos, but it’s less so in real life. If you’re still a total beginner, there’s a chance you’re going to trip and fall a few times, and that’s why it’s important to wear a helmet and protective gear during your rollerblading adventures.
Going Too Fast
Just like with any other activity, it will take some time to become experienced with rollerblading. Instead of rushing things, take baby steps, starting with learning how to break and control your speed. Only once you master these skills, you can try going a little bit faster.
